okay, mom, thanks for the quick rundown on red-headed birds. sounds like a yellow-bellied sapsucker (poor guy, with a name like that, no wonder he doesn’t associate with the other birds). looks more like a red crest than a full red head (he stopped by for several minutes this morning), and the wings are definitely b&w checked/stripey.

i think his crest is about the same color red as i dyed my hair in highschool. muah!

in other news…

the mock trial is OVER. DONE. FINITO. TERMINADO. GONE. IN THE PAST. holy crap. litigation is exhausting. i have no idea how public defenders do it on the salary of a secretary; i don’t think i could.

*yawn* i feel like i could sleep for a week. shouts go out to roommie james, who decided to forego a free screening of slither in favor of being a witness (and did a good job of it), and my co-counsel’s boyfriend, who was our other witness. and, of course, the two people who agreed to be witnesses for the plaintiff. it was a thankless job, but you guys rocked.
